The High Court in London has thrown out claims worth about £340 million against Uber. In a written ruling on 19 October 2026, Judge Simon Birt agreed with Uber that the claims had been brought too late. Around 13,000 London black cab drivers were seeking about £200 million. A further claim of about £140 million was brought on behalf of two former London private hire firms, Kabbie and Iride, which have since closed. The claimants said Uber gave Transport for London misleading and inaccurate information when it got its London private hire operator licence in 2012, and that this harmed their business. Uber denied this. This type of claim normally has to be brought within six years. The claims were filed in 2024, and the judge decided the claimants could have found out about the alleged deception before 2018. That meant the claims were dismissed without the court looking at whether the allegations were true. Uber said it was pleased the claims had been dismissed "at the earliest opportunity". RGL Management, which ran the claims, said it was very disappointed and is considering all options with its legal team.
